Show A theatrical, costume-heavy comedy rock band, Green Jelly found success in 1993 with their surprise Top 40 hit "Three Little Pigs" and its accompanying claymation video. The single appeared on their Billboard-charting sophomore LP Cereal Killer Soundtrack. Led by vocalist and sole constant member Bill Manspeaker, the band emerged in 1989 and went on hiatus after the release of 1994's 333. They reconvened in 2009 with the original lineup and released Musick to Insult Your Intelligence By, and in 2021 they issued their fifth long-player, Garbage Band Kids.

With success came lawsuits. After Kraft Foods took them to court for trademark infringement, the musicians were forced to change their name to Green Jelly. They also had to include an edited version of "Cereal Killer" on their audio release, as the cereal companies whose mascots were murdered in the video did not take kindly to it. The music industry still had faith in the group, though, and Green Jelly had little trouble convincing BMG to co-finance Green Jellÿ Studios, an audio and visual production house that opened its doors in 1994 on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. That same year, Green Jelly supplied the first-ever video game soundtrack for Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage, based on the Marvel Comics characters. The group released one last single in 1995, a version of Gary Glitter's "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" with Hulk Hogan on vocals, before calling it quits.

A decade passed before Green Jelly reunited in 2008. After touring the country and reissuing their 1993 opus Cereal Killer Soundtrack, the band released a new record, Musick to Insult Your Intelligence By, in 2009. Things remained relatively quiet on the Green Jelly front for the next several years. A new single, "Fr3tö F33t," appeared in 2017, followed by a parody of the SpongeBob SquarePants theme, "Silence of the Sponge," in 2019. Two years later they released Garbage Band Kids, their first studio LP in 12 years.
